Description
This specimen is a patch of common thyme, *Thymus vulgaris*, growing naturally in the ground rather than as a cultivated bonsai. It exhibits a dense, bushy form covered in numerous small, pale pink to white flowers, indicating it is in full bloom. The plant's low-growing, herbaceous nature is evident, with no distinct woody trunk or nebari typical of bonsai.
